Avoid Surgery Use Homeopathy for PCOD (POLYCYSTIC OVARY DISEASE)

Homeopathy for PCOD (POLYCYSTIC OVARY DISEASE)

POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN DISEASE

Described
in 1935 by Stein and Leventhal as a syndrome manifested by amenorrhea,
hirsutism and obesity associated with enlarged Polycystic ovaries.

This
complex disorder is characterized by excessive androgen production by
the ovaries / adrenals which interfere with growth of the ovarian
follicle. Therefore PCOS is state of androgen excess and chronic an
ovulation.

The incidence varies between 0.5% to 4%> More common amongst infertile women.

It is prevalence in young reproductive period.

Polycystic
ovary syndrome is a condition in which there is an imbalance of a
woman's female sex hormones. This hormone imbalance may cause changes in
the menstrual cycle, skin changes, small cysts in the ovaries, trouble
getting pregnant and other problems.

The
principle function of ovary is production of an eg each month for
ovulation and the production of all the hormones necessary for normal
reproduction. Many people assumed that polycystic ovarian disease is a
purely ovarian disease but now we recognize that it is a fact, a
systemic endocrine and metabolic of symptoms. Infertility, lack of
periods, or extremely irregular periods, male body hair patterns,
obesity and acne are very common symptoms. No two women are affected by
PCOD in exactly the same way.

Ovary
fails to expel the matured eggs in polycystic ovarian Disease and a
small amount of fluid begins to acculate inside the immature follicles
to form multiple cysts. the cysts then contribute to the hormonal
imbalance. In order to make estrogen, the cells of the follicular cyst
take androgen from the surrounding ovarian tissue and convert the
androgen to estrogen. This is probably due to the genetic inheritance,
high levels of insulin and thyroid pituitary dysfunction.

Patients suffering from polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) have multiple small cysts in their ovaries (the word poly means many).
These cysts occur when the regular changes of a normal menstrual cycle
are disrupted. The ovary is enlarged; and produces excessive amounts of
androgen and estrogenic hormones. This excess, along with the absence of
ovulation, may cause infertility. Other names for PCOD are polycystic
ovarian syndrome(PCOS) or the Stein-Leventhal syndrome.

The principal signs and symptoms of PCOS are related to menstrual
disturbances and elevated levels of male hormones (androgens). Menstrual
disturbances can include delay of normal menstruation (primary
amenorrhea), the presence of fewer than normal menstrual periods
(oligomenorrhea), or the absence of menstruation for more than three
months (secondary amenorrhea). Menstrual cycles may not be associated
with ovulation (anovulatory cycles) and may result in heavy bleeding.
Symptoms related to elevated androgen levels include acne, excess hair
growth on the body (hirsutism), and male-pattern hair loss.Obesity and weight gain,elevated insulin levels and resistance, oily
skin,dandruff, infertility,skin discolorations,high cholesterol
levels,elevated blood pressure, and multiple, small cysts in the
ovaries. Any of the above symptoms and signs may be absent in PCOS, with
the exception of irregular or no menstrual periods. All women with PCOS
will have irregular or no menstrual periods. Women who have PCOS do not
regularly ovulate; that is, they do not release an egg every month.
This is why they do not have regular periods and typically have
difficulty conceiving.If your doctor suspects PCOS, a battery of investigations will be
ordered for you. The goal is to assess the severity and source of
androgen excess and to rule out an adrenal or ovarian tumor. Some of the
common tests are FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), LH (Luteinizing
Hormone)- the ratio of 3:1 of LH:FSH is diagnostic, Serum testosterone,
DHEA and DHEAS (Dehydroepiandrosterone). A pelvic ultrasound is also
usually needed. It may show 10 or more follicles, 2-10 mm in size per
ovary.I have found homeopathy to be very useful in the management of PCOS.
Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine that assists the natural
tendency of the human body to heal itself. SYMPTOMS OF PCOD :

Changes in the menstrual cycle:

Absent periods, usually with a history of having one or more normal menstrual periods during puberty

Irregular menstrual periods, which may be more or less frequent, and may range from very light to very heavy

IRREGULAR MENSES

Development of male sex characteristics (virilization):

﻿﻿Decreased breast size

Deepening of the voice

Enlargement of the clitoris

﻿Increased body hair on the chest, abdomen, and face, as well as around the nipples (called hirsutism)

Thinning of the hair on the head, called male-pattern baldness

Other skin changes:

Acne that gets worse

Dark or thick skin markings and creases around the armpits, groin, neck, and breasts due to insulin sensitivity

Other General Changes :

Weight Gain or Inability to Lose WeightInsulin resistance and possibly diabetesHigh blood pressurePolycystic ovaries that is 2-5 times larger than healthy
ovaries.Impaired lung functionMood disorders, including anxiety and depression

Homoeopathic Approach : Early diagnosis of PCOS makes managing the disease easier. The response
to homeopathy is seen in the regularization of menstrual cycles.
Regularization of cycles may mean more ovulatory cycles. These women
thus have a higher chance of conceiving naturally.Women who are thin, younger, with less hirsutism and who do not have
very high levels of testosterone respond better to homeopathic
treatment. Hence homeopathic treatment along with modification of diet
and lifestyle patterns can have benefits in terms of regularization of
menstruation, fertility promotion naturally (or by assisted reproduction
with better results), risk of type-2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia are
ameliorated and musculoskeletal and metabolic side effects are reduced.

The concept
of health, sickness and cure are set in Homoeopathic philosophy as
process occurring on the dynamic plane. Health is equality of the human
being; illness is disequilibrium of the vital force; cure is return to
harmony with one cell and the whole world.

Any
tendency to disease or destruction which can be recognizes in man
disease from a structural anomaly which imprints is characterization on
him or her.

Really
sick patient were seen to pass through periodic or status of illness
which appeared distinct to the superficial observer but in which careful
examination, disclosed nexus
of identify, a characteristic connecting link, thus apparently as
judged by his or her bio-pathology were in fact linked by a "background"
which constituted disposition, whether constitutional or merely a
constant aspect of organic man which persists in the forum of its expression was called by Hahnemann " MIASM or CHRONIC DISEASE'.

Miasm is an obnoxious disease-producing agnet, dynamic in nature and inimical to life. He founded the theory of misam.

PCOD

Maisam and the symptoms are nothing but the two sides of the
coin, and one cannot be considered whilst ignoring the other. In fact the
totality of symptoms cannot be said to be total until and unless the selected
remedy covers the miasm.
